The NFL playoffs have moved on to the next stage with the divisional rounds this weekend. Of course, there are no Seattle Seahawks still standing but there are still teams to pull for. Take your choice! Just please, no Packers.

Saturday’s matchups feature two very interesting games. The up-and-coming Bengals versus the good-every-year Titans. Tennessee should get running back Derrick Henry back but the Bengals should also have Trey Hendrickson. This game should come down to whether the Titans are able to run the ball as they want versus are the Bengals able to give Joe Burrow time to throw?

In the second game, the 49ers, who seemed to have a ton of players banged up in the Wild Card round, will have everyone available. Can they run the ball well enough against a Packers defense that was 29th in yards-allowed-per-rush (4.7) to keep Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers off the field to win a low-scoring game?

Both games are capable of being very close or blowouts if the Packers offense can control the 49ers defense and the Titans can run the ball all day against a not-great Bengals defense.
